Mrs. Watson stops paddling her pupils as far
we know. But David E. Kelly & his cohorts aren't done with spanking yet as it pops up
again in, of all places, the teachers' lounge I always wondered what went on in
there! & with a very different twist when the old-fashioned teacher lets her guard
down & asks the show's resident outdated nebish, (fellow teacher played by Fyvish
Finkle, bottom right), if he'd like to grab a cup of coffee after work
&... "I
could bring my paddle. You might like it! My late husband couldn't get enough of it!"
Why Mrs. Watson would pick
the worst guy possible to proposition for a little slap & tickle schoolmarm fun is
beyond me.
(Except that it was in the script, of
course.)
His recurring character already showed what a dinosaur he was when he freaked
out over girls not wearing bras to school in a previous episode!
Oh, well, for whatever reason (maybe the censors still
didn't like spank-happy endings?) the nebish does what he does & Mrs. Watson gets
fired when the VP overreacts to the old fart's claim alone that, "She's a
pervert! She beats those kids for pleasure!"
Personally, I didn't see it that way. And I certainly hope that
the millions of others who watched this one didn't side with prudish old Fyv either. I'd rather
think that they saw the Ally episode too & figured old Fyv was being his usual stuffy
self & should have taken Mrs. W. up on her offer. If anyone could use a good paddling,
it's Fyv! And the equally tight-assed Vice Principal, too! Now, that would be
entertaining!! - cm |

"Want to grab a cup of coffee
after work sometime? I could bring my paddle. You might like it! My late husband couldn't
get enough
of it!"
